Hmmmm, that date is a full week BEFORE the previous version, 5.80, was published.
Something is not right here....

As best we can determine, there was no 5.90 update, and this was a glitch.
The
5.80 update is still available on the Garmin server, indicating it is the most recent.

Interesting, I wondered about that.
I have all the others backed up but was unable to get 5.90 to save, I guess that's why.

Interesting that your device reports Audio Package 2.20, while some earlier firmware reported 2.30.

Version 5.90 is not a glitch. It's still offered for 276CX via Express. The old links are just all dead. I am not aware of a replacement, only download via Express. I do also have the GCD, if anyone want's it.
Btw, the 276CX is EOL.

Garmin Express tells me that there is a 5.90 update for the GPSMAP 276Cx...
See image below.

It's just that you can't download newer update files from the Garmin webserver anymore.

Just a quick note: The shown changelog is from Firmware 5.80. Changelog for 5.90 is unknown.
